History
The Shangri-La Tokyo opened on March 2, 2009, as the first property in Japan from Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. It occupies the top 11 floors of the Marunouchi Trust Tower Main in the Tokyo Station complex. The hotel reflects Shangri-La's signature Asian hospitality in the heart of Japan's capital business district.
The setting
Shangri-La Tokyo rises in Marunouchi Trust Tower immediately beside Tokyo Station, on the district Mitsubishi developed from 1890 into Japan's first modern business centre — nicknamed 'The London Block' for its original red-brick offices and today home to more Fortune Global 500 headquarters than any other district worldwide. The Imperial Palace East Gardens are a 16-minute walk along broad corporate promenades, and Ginza's luxury shopping corridor extends southward, reachable on foot in roughly ten minutes. The hotel's position between station and palace captures the geographic essence of Marunouchi: a gateway that is simultaneously Japan's commercial nerve centre and the ceremonial heart of the nation.
